If you were one of those booked in at Alton Towers for the Thirteen preview weekend on 12/13 March, then the news isn’t good.  Alton Towers have taken the decision to cancel this event and have contacted customers today via email.

I understand customers are being offered a full refund, a fastrack for thirteen for the day of your choice and a complimentary evening, (date yet to be confirmed) with a talk by John Wardley and a behind the scenes tour.

There’s going to be some disappointed people out there today.
